Perhaps nobody told these people they could have a UnixWare license and half a year's support for the cost of that G5 machine. And UnixWare PC hardware is cheaper than Windows and Mac hardware both, since it only runs on older hardware.
All he did was paint it white and put the words "Click here to get the plugin" on the side.

..just don't, ah, Love your Mac.
I think he's a little too emotionally involved.
Hmm, I read that "the fans of the G5 are computer controlled"...I always knew Steve Jobs was trying to take over the world.
Sig removed because it was obnoxious
I know what you mean. I don't understand what it is with these 9 fan fanatics. I'm sitting here in front of my 9-fan enclosure and it's been trying to move 7 cubic feet of air for the past twenty minutes. Twenty minutes!! At home, my single-unit Panaflo L1a fan (24cfm, 1900rpm) can do this in five minutes....
I can imagine visiting a friend and them showing off their new G5: "35dba in a room was just too much to handle, so.. we expanded on to the house a bit and now keep it just beyond this door--purgatory. Hear that? Not a peep. Nothing can top the sweet silence of limbo."
This is truly one of the most erotic things I have ever seen. If that Mac was a woman, these pictures would belong in Playboy.
Sure, I'll take the G5 over Bad Boy Asher Bond's Pentium box in a heartbeat, but give me the parody site over the original's puffery and fetishizing any day.
Yep, basically if you're just writing email then it'll be quite quiet, but when you start playing quake or serious photoshop/fcp4/etc work then expect a frigging jet plane under your desk to take off and all your lights to dim.
That guy's a hoot. My fave:
"See man Asher Bond just hooked you up with an extra 1 gigabyte man! It sits right up here on top of the case for state of the art ventilation. How ya like me now!?!? "
It seems to work, though sales dipped for a moment there during the MSBlaster storm when the mind control packets didn't reach their Macs.
I'd like this guy to do a repeat set of pics in 12 months when it's all full of dust, cat hairs, dead flies, crud, whatever... (Just before all the mesh holes get blocked up and it melts down). Although I do agree they're great pics, and I'd sure love a G5...
There are really only nine of you idiots posting to slashdot?
I don't know why, but somehow this troll brings a smile to my heart. You know, even though SimpleText is grinding to a halt as I write this, I always scan through the -1 comments of Mac stories on Slashdot, just to make sure it's there. I don't know if this troll post is always put up by the same dude or team of dudes, or if there just freelance 8th graders out there, shilling for not-Mac, but somehow, just knowing that there out there makes me feel secure.
You know, no matter how bad the economy gets, as long as these misinformed trolls are around, there's at least one guy that I can count on being self-evidently more qualified than.
Troll power!
Well, I should stop waxing nostalgic. After about twenty days or so my 17K file transfer is done. Sure, I could have done it in a quarter microsecond on my 8088, but I'm just a Mac zealot: speed, cost, and stability are irrelevant to me.
